The article talks about a search project (with camera traps) by the James Cook University to be started in May 2017. Maybe we should wait for results from that.

ETA: The TESS - Centre for Tropical Environmental & Sustainability Science's website makes no mention of the project, and searching for the words "thylacine" or "Yorke" on the site gives no matches. Hm.

IIRC, the thylacine's "hopping" gait was actually a reference to its habit of hopping on its back legs like a kangaroo. In any event, the head doesn't look nearly long enough to be a thylacine, I'd say it's probably either a fox or a tiger quoll.

One of the big problems with the video is that you can't get a good sense of the size of the animal so there's every chance it could be a smaller animal like a quoll. We've seen good evidence in the past that people can make completely incorrect guesses about the size of animals.

The fenceline behind it really contributes to making it look like a fairly sizable animal even though we can't tell if the fence is close behind it or half a kilometre away. It could even be mostly hidden behind a rise.

The animal first noses around the camera and you get a pretty good view of its pink nose and then later wander off through the bush. The footage isn't very clear at this point as you can tell from this still posted in the second article:
(It's pretty much right in the centre of the image if you're having trouble spotting it.)

My 2c: the creature that waddles off through the bush seems to be a bit too shortlimbed and chubby for a thylacine and also the nose that pokes at the camera seems to be pink and not dark black/brown as a thylacine's nose should. It's probably a quoll.

This looks just like a typical feral dog with a bad leg. There's tens of thousands of them in Australia. BTW, the Yorke Peninsula is a hell of a long way from Tasmania. The countryside of Tasmania is predominantly mountainous wild country. It would be more likely to find a tiger in Tasmania than in semi-rural South Australia.
